Welp, the 68k-lites is of course, no.  however, it wouldn't be hard to get
binary compat between say lites, mklinux, and aix (i remember something
being said about this being not to hard to do now, but i'm not sure if
that code would end up in the server, or mach) would work.

Me too, but ripping, and #ifdef'ing seems easier then porting (but i'm not
a coder, so i'll be quite now)
